pcscuba, I used the same plans sent to you by nickjb on Scuba Source dated 2-21-2003. The plans themselves were by Roger Lacasse.

pcscuba, I'm sorry that date was 5-21-2003. I'm definately going to give the canister light a shot. Thanks for the link. I spent a couple of years in Panama City back in the early 80's. I rented a cottage at Pirates Cove. Some great fishing and diving if you keep one eye on the gators. Had some buddies that ran a charter out of Desten called the Vantage. Man those were the good old days. Good Luck to ya.

Tanker, just one question. How did you know nickjb had sent me plans?

pcscuba, surfing the net on a quest for information. Usually when I find some good info I save it for later use. When you asked where I got the plans I took a look at my file and low and behold you were there too. What a coincidense right.

PCScuba, maybe tanker1 is stocking you

I was wandering that same thing.Anyway, back on the topic. Tanker do you have some way of bending the plate yourself or did you take it to a machine shop?

pcscuba I have a friend who owns a shop. He was kind enough to let me use his break and punch.

That's the only problem with Panama City there is only one person in town with a break large enough to bend 1/8" stainless. This wouldn't be so bad if I knew him but I don't so he wants to charge me $55.00 just to bend the plate. That doesn't include anything like punching the holes or webbing slots. I guess I'll have to keep looking for someone else.
